A study published this year in the journal Nature Cell Biology confirms a direct link between hiccups in your circadian rhythms (the body’s sleep, wake, and eating pattern) and the skin’s ability to synthesize collagen.

Think of sleep as food and water for your skin When you disrupt the circadian rhythms, you’re more susceptible to environmental damage Chronic sleep deprivation can exacerbate acne and inflammation, and persistently high levels of cortisol will break down collagen.

Your skin becomes imbalanced, which leads to a dehydrated complexion, redness, and breakouts Not only does not getting enough sleep negatively affect your body, it affects the moisture levels in your skin, decreasing them and also lowering your complexion's pH levels, which is why your skin looks less youthful and has less of a glow.
